Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked: Publishing News

By Tom Spurgeon

* Greg Goldstein out, Chris Ryall back in at IDW. PDF of the initial PR here: ryallbacktoidw.pdf It feels to me there's a big story of their last 30 months for one of us to cover.

* Joseph Ilidge is out at Valiant. I wouldn't feel comfortable contextualizing this story with a throwaway comment, mostly because I can't figure out what the proper expectation might be for this company performance.

* here is Avery Hill's summer 2019.

* new Ian Williams from Penn State University Press in 2019.

* a new company has announced an all-at-once format release strategy that will remind people of streaming movie services, I'm sure. It could work, although the numbers are so small for the vast majority of all publishing projects it will be difficult to tell. There has been some playing around with this notion, particularly the softcover/hardcover releases of works aimed at younger readers, and the release of a trade right on top of final serial release at a lot of companies now.

* finally: it's Dav Pilkey's world and we just live in it and buy his books if they print enough of them.
